Can you please help me understand CS as a major and career? My D in HS is taking CS for the first time, adores it, and her CS teacher says she's a natural. My concern is that math is her worst subject - ACT math is 31, everything else on ACT is 36. Isn't CS heavy in math? She loves languages, so I think she could be a programmer. But without math skills, would she be stuck in something rote? She's very analytical, and I think she'd get bored if she doesn't get a chance to problem-solve. And how is the long-term career prospects and pay if she doesn't have the math skills? TIA for your help - I know nothing.
